To some it might look like old scraps with pretty lights, while others find a majestic beauty in these disappearing lit-up treasures seen on the road.

It is amazing what the Internet and social media has been able to do in the last few years in terms of bringing like-minded people and groups alike, opening a window for wider discussions on just about any topic.
